Growing Kids

Garrett finished up school last week, so next year he will be a big 3rd grader, where has the time gone, I can remember him being so little when Greg and I started dating. He was in the nursery at church and now he is 8! This was Madi's last week of 1st grade, my little girl is growing up so fast. Tuesday was her awards program in her class, each of the students got to read a page from their journal that they write in daily. She look like such a big girl standing up there reading to her classmates and parents. She received several awards and ribbons. She finished up 1st grade making A-B honor roll all year! She won the talent show in her class a few weeks ago and today was the school talent show. She looked so nervous waiting on her turn to come. I kept looking over at her hoping that her nerves would not get the best of her. When it came to her turn, she got up, took the microphone and did so good. It was just precious! I was so proud of her and so was the rest of her cheering section (Poppie, Big Mama, Nana & Ashley). I just want to keep the kids little forever, I feel like they will be grown before I know it. I just love being a mommy to those little devils... I mean angels!

Mother's Day

I had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day weekend! I got to spending Friday night & Saturday morning catching up with Holly, who is a new mommy, it was GREAT to chat with her & to hold her little princess Bella. I have to get my baby fix every once in a while! Saturday I spent the day with my 2 favorite girls, my mom & Madi, we spent the day doing what we do best, Shopping! We have trained Madi well, she is now loving to shop, of course only for herself. We had lunch at a YUMMY new place a friend told me about and of course we had to get another YUMMY snack at the mall. Greg took me out to Firebirds Saturday night for dinner, we had to go childless, of course it was Madi's weekend to stay at mom's and she knew it, so even Mother's Day wasn't stopping her! Sunday I got to spend some time with my "mother-in-love" Barbara, we got to spend some time with her for Mother's Day & her birthday. I love going over there & watching movies with them, however at one time yesterday I think I was the only one awake watching the movie. Sunday night I spent great time with Madi laying her bed and snuggling before she went to sleep. I love my life, it is the best, I am so blessed & have so much to be thankful for.......
